He will play
Rhule was in my top 2 choices. His college teams always played smart, physical football. He also has a reputation for being a player's coach and he has NFL chops/ league-wide respect. He was the low key smart pick. But after the Garrett experiment, Jerry was hellbent on getting a coach with NFL head coaching experience so I doubt he ever seriously considered Rhule.should have been a rebuild in the offseason. IT was the perfect time. Now they saddled the organization with a retread head coach who seemingly conceded to Jerry on Moore immediately, have a lousy defensive coordinator who has not really produced positive results in years.
Then they went and paid Cooper which was insane, signed a couple of old defensive players and are about to destroy the cap paying the quarterback who after 3 years starting in the sec and now his 5th year starting in the nfl essentially plays exactly the same.
They blew it. They had an opportunity while the chips were down and contracts were up at the end of last season to step back a bit....hire a good young coach and put together something new. Matt Rhule was perfect, not that he would coach for the Jones family I imagine.
now they are teetering on the Dave Campo years. Lose sunday and then at seattle and this thing is in big trouble. Especially after seeing how well cleveland's offense can play at times. I imagine the browns are coming in here 2-1 in two weeks. Lose that game and this organization is at a low they have not experienced since the hopeless campo years.
anyway from April to August the organization pumped sunshine about how talented they are because of the wr group. Now they have to actually play football and it looks pretty bleak.
speaking of Talent, Atlanta has ten number ones on offense and five number ones on defense. Seems they are the more talented team.
There are so many holes on this team moving forward (LT, LB, S, DT, TE), it's starting to feel like a mini-rebuild is coming if we don't succeed this season.
Can MM scheme this to avoid a repeat?
McCarthy had more than 3 weeks to learn the team that year. BIG difference this year. This isn’t Madden where you scheme your way with 70 OVR playersIf this team can not overcome injuries, it was not very good to begin with. I guess a lot of people forget that when McCarthy’s pack won the SB in 2010, they had a ton of injuries.
Yes, we have a lot of key players injured. But the measure of a team isn’t how good they are with all their players, but how good they are with some missing.
If we go without both tackles this is a guaranteed loss. Dak simply isn’t good enough to make up for it.
Why why don't they call Leary right now, put him at left guard, and move Williams to right tackle?We did, we're forcing him to play guard.
I want to get off this ride,Tyron is so unreliable now.We should draft a Tackle the first chance we get.
I hope one of their players doesn't have a career game with 5 or 6 sacks. Nah, that'll never happen.What could possibly go wrong without our starting tackle vs ATL?
Uh, remember the DL the Cowboys had for that game?Remember when a gimped up Rodgers beat us, playing with a crap Ol? Now is the time for Dak to step up and do the same against the falcs. No excuses anymore..I'm tired of losing.
